Our Towns

A 100,000 Mile Journey into the Heart of America

“Our Towns” chronicles the authors’ five-year journey across the United States in a small plane. The husband-wife team visits dozens of towns to explore the challenges facing the communities — from economic hardships to the scourge of drugs. They also document the common characteristics that underwrite success in those towns — energy, generosity, determination, compassion and determination. The final chapter summarizes the 10 signs of a thriving city. The book is an uplifting look at the future and how problem-solving begins locally.

Not what I expected but still very interesting. I don’t think this will be one that I would like to read more then once.

This book is truly one to read. It talks about James and Deborah and their journey across the country. It is positively patriotic and I encourage anybody to read it. Especially the people that are in major cities as it’s important for us to not forget about the towns in the middle of the country.
